Patent GB-191314487-A (GB)
Title: Improved Circuit Arrangements for Automatic and Semi-automatic Telephone Systems.
Filed: 1913-06-23
Granted: 1914-04-16
Abstract: 14,487. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. July 22, 1912, [Convention date]. Automatic exchange systems. - Relates to systems with main and subordinate exchanges, in which a connexion between two subscribers on the same sub-exchange is made without tieing up trunks to the main exchanges. In the system described, a calling subscriber T1 is connected by a preselector VW1 to a repeater associated with a second pre-selector VW2, the first sets of contacts of which are connected to trunks a1, b1, c1 to the main exchange, the other contacts being connected to local selectors. Assuming that the subscribers on the sub-exchange are numbered from 8,400 to 8,699, the three sets of local trunks a2, a3, a4 lead to connectors serving the groups 8,400, 8,500, and 8,600, respectively. When a subscriber calls, he is connected by the pre-selector VW2 to a trunk a, to the main exchange, but if the wanted line is on the same sub-exchange the sets of selecting-impulses corresponding to the first two digits act on an auxiliary switch MS in such a way that the pre-selector is moved on again and finds an idle connector in the required group, this group being determined by the potential put on contacts in the path of a fourth wiper d. The operation in greater detail is as follows. When the pre-selector VW1 finds an idle circuit, its relay T energizes in series with a relay C, thus closing at contact 8 the circuit of the rotary magnet D of the second pre-selector VW2, which rotates to find an idle trunk to the main exchange, when the test relay P is energized over the wipers g, d, and contacts 24, 27, 28, 29. The relay A (1) energizes a. slow-release relay V, which also serves as a detent magnet for the arms e, f of the switch MS, (2) closes a contact 13 across the selected trunk a1, b1, and (3) opens a contact 15 in the circuit of a slow-release relay Y. The relay Y is energized when the relay A is de-energized by the first selecting-impulse, and closes at contact 17 the circuit of the rotarv magnet D1 of the switch MS, so that the arms e, f are moved in synchronism with the first selector at the main exchange. The relay Y de-energizes at the end of the first set of impulses, but is again energized at the commencement of the second set if, and only if, the arm e is resting on its eighth contact, thus allowing the arms e, f to be rotated by the second set of impulses. If the arm f receives four, five, or six steps, it comes to rest on one of the contacts 20, 30, 31, and energizes the corresponding relay L4, L5, L6, thus opening the circuit of the test relay P, and grounding the corresponding group of contacts in the path of the wiper d. The pre-selector is moved on until it engages an idle trunk in the selected local group, when the relay P is again energized over wipers g, d, contact 34, say, and contacts 28, 29. A relay BR connects a busy transformer Su to the calling line if the pre-selector VW2 is unable to establish either a local or out-going connexion.

Title: Improved Bottling of Mineral Waters.
Inventor: BAUDRY PAUL LEONIDE
IPC: B67C7/00
Filed: 1914-03-28
Granted: 1914-07-02
Abstract: 7937. Baudry, P. L. April 1, 1913, [Convention date]. Bottling; stoppering.- In a process and apparatus for bottling natural mineral waters, a bottle, filled with carbonic acid, is placed under the rubber mouthpiece of the filling- head of a bottling and stoppering machine, which filling-head can be placed, by means of a cock, either in communication with the spring or source of mineral water or with a vacuum chamber. In operation, the bottle is connected first through the filling - head to the vacuum chamber, so that on admitting the mineral water it does not come into contact with a large quantity of carbonic acid. In the apparatus shown, a constant flow of water is established from the spring 25<1> by a pipe 24, 27 to a basin 26 at a lower level. The filling-head 9 is connected to the pipe 24 by a three-way cock 23, siphon 20, and cock 16, and by a cock 8 and pipe 21 to the vacuum chamber 22. The long limb of the siphon 20 is sufficiently long to contain a quantity of water which will fill one bottle. Within the siphon is a check valve 28 adapted to close towards the supply end under the action of back pressure from the opposite end. The bottles are transferred from the filling-head 9 to the stoppering-head 30 by a swing table 25, the path traversed by the bottle being covered by a bell in which an atmosphere of carbonic acid is maintained. In the case of waters which contains little gas, the pipe 24 may terminate at the filling-head, the basin 26 and pipe 27 being dispensed with. The atmospheric pressure would ensure the filling of the bottle, and the gas or vapour disengaged from the water and collecting in the filling-head would be extracted by the vacuum chamber.

Filed: 2014-03-11
Abstract: The current invention describes a syringe pump 1 to pump fluid into a micro reactor at a very small rate. Further, it describes a low flow rate sensor that has been designed for measuring the flow rate of the syringe pump 1. Irrespective of the size of the syringe, the pump can control the flow rate accurately. The syringe pump 1 is capable of pumping the fluid at smaller flow rate ranging from 100 micro litres to 1000 micro litres inside the capillary reactor. The flow from the small capillary section breaks into drop. The size of the drop and the frequency of the drop formation is used to estimate the flow rate for measuring the flow rate from the syringe 111. Figure 1
